Prineville, Oregon Wants Facebook To Expand Data Center
The city of Prineville, Oregon is eager for Facebook to expand its data center facilities in the area. A building covering as much space as five football fields is scheduled to open in April, but the social network owns 120 acres so that there's room for expansion.
Facebook may expand a data center project in Prineville, Oregon that already covers a space the size of five football fields.
Possible enlargement of the hosting facility would testify to the rapid growth rate that Facebook continues to enjoy, according to the Wall Street Journal. Right now the expansion of such a facility sounds like something the city of Prineville hungers for — which makes sense given how the region has a 19 percent unemployment rate — and Facebook is still trying to sort out.
